Engineering inducible biomolecular assemblies for genome imaging and manipulation in living cells

Imaging non-repetitive loci in living cells remains challenging. Here, the authors engineered an inducible system whereby biomolecular assemblies can be guided to specific genomic loci by a nuclease-defective Cas9, allowing the simultaneous imaging and manipulation of the loci.
